On his way to the party...Clifford the Big Red Dog! The costume didn't take as long as I thought it was going to for me to make it--really just took one day--and we received many compliments on it at the party, so more than worth the effort.
We added the black collar and still felt like it needed something, so Andy and Alton went to Petco that morning and made Alton a custom doggie tag in the shape of a bone that reads "Clifford." Then it was off to the party!
The kids practiced trick-or-treating at bedroom doors, got their photos taken, frosted cupcakes, and in Alton's case, asked Uncle Zach to read about 10 books.

The kids trick-or-treating at the bedrooms upstairs; with all the partying beforehand, the house was heating up and Alton got too warm in his costume. But this should bode well for Halloween night when it's brrrrr chilly!

Then it was time for cupcake decorating. (Yes, I am wearing Shrek ears.)
He didn't want frosting: just sprinkles. I had to convince him to let me smear a little frosting on top to give the sprinkles something to stick to.
Then he wolfed it down!

Katie and Andy,
These are very cute. Alton and Paisley, what a couple of smiley people. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Nice job on Clifford. Paisley's outfit is not so bad either.
Love,
Grammy and Grampa Charlie
Thanks to Uncle Zack for keeping things fun for Alton. Apparently, book reading ranks right up there with trick or treating and frosting cupcakes! The Clifford costume is quite the winner, including the collar and license. The biggest comment I made, though, was,"Wow! Look at Katie!" So slim!
